Despite fighting personal demons, Lara is a devoted mother to her son, Eldar. One day, training for a job at the airport, she spots a suspicious passport, resulting in Adja, a female refugee, being detained. Days go by and the two women’s paths continue to cross in the small town, resulting in a unique bond. "And Breathe Normally" is a politically charged story of two women and how they are able to alter the course of each other’s lives.
